Trivia / Los Lunnis

• Career Resurrection: For Lucrecia. While she had not fallen into complete obscurity like many examples of the trope, most of her singing career in Spain was well behind her when she became the show's guest, and even people who had witnessed her peak in The '90s only knew her as an outdated pop singer who sporadically judged in music talent shows. With Los Lunnis, however, she essentially became part of the childhood of the next generation of Spaniards, to the point her role as the show's host is probably the most famous and cited part of his career nowadays.
• The Cast Showoff: Usual, given that most hosts of the show were professional singers.
• Cowboy Be Bop At His Computer: Some turmoil happened in 2011 when newspapers announced that Jordi Vila, Lucanero's voice actor, had died of cancer. However, it turned out to be all a confusion caused by the existence of two voice actors with a similar name: the dead one was Jordi "Vila" Vilaseca Anguera, not Jordi Vila Fernández, who was Lucanero's true VA and was very much alive and active at the time (he went to unofficially retire from dubbing in 2017 before passing away in 2023). Coincidentally, both Vila and Vilaseca had worked in the Catalonian dub of Dragon Ball, which only aggravated the confusion further when his resume was listed.
• Follow the Leader:
  • In 2007, TV channel Cuatro followed the example of TVE with Los Algos, a children's puppet show also created by Daniel Cerdà and Jaume Copons, but it was not as successful (at least in Spain, as it apparently made some more noise abroad) and only lasted two years. It's rumored that the reason of its closure was that TVE threatened to sue for plagiarism.
  • The same year also saw Cerdà creating Los Zagales for Aragón TV. It lasted similarly two years only, although in this case the two shows weren't really very similar and there was no controversy (other than an odd instance where Canal Extremadura TV repackaged the show as Los Chibilindros, in a confusing campaign that several Extremadurans still remember as a sort of Bizarro Episode in the channel's history).
• The Other Darrin: Some voice actors changed over the years, but the most notable, which happened only a few years into the show's history and was quite different in sound, was Benjamí Conesa replacing Ignacio "Nartxi" Azkargorta as Lutecio.
• Pop-Culture Urban Legends: A popular yet unoriginal 2007 YouTube video claimed the show's songs contained subliminal messages that ordered children to kill their parents. It's unlikely that anybody ever took this seriously, but the urban legend was relevant enough that the creators have been forced to deny it several times, one of those even enlisting the help of neuropsychology professor Manuel Martín-Loeches of Cuarto Milenio fame, who clarified this kind of messages doesn't actually work.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The show's name was going to be Luna Lunera.
  • Paloma Lago, TPH Club's host, was going to headline Los Lunnis along with Lucrecia and Álex Casademunt, but negotiations fell apart and the show eventually went on without her.
